An Aurora municipal judge found the property presents “an imminent threat to public safety and welfare,” city officials said Monday.

The City of Aurora is trying to turn the page on a national embarrassment by closing down an infamous apartment complex and charging nine people for a recent kidnapping that took place there. Aurora law enforcement and city officials have been trying to put out a public relations fire started by CBZ Management since August,

A judge has granted an emergency order to close the Edge of Lowery Apartments saying the complex is a threat to public safety. The City of Aurora requested that order last week. A month after they agreed with the property managers it needed to close.
